6:37 am
owners were here and i approached them and they were too upset to talk on camera, you can imagine it was not news they wanted to wake up to. we will have more reaction from neighbors and what they thought was happening when they started hearing all the fire trucks. reporting live from san jose ktvu channel 2 morning news. police are helping the fbi investigate the killing of genelle conway allen. the death of genelle conway allen was a homicide but they are still not saying how she died. her body was found in allenwood parkings the day after she was reported missing. a community vigil is planned for tomorrow night. investigators in sonoma county have found out about a botched homicide deal. they found the body of three men who had been shot and killed. the men came to the home to buy a large amount of marijuana and

6:54 am
down the police unit, flag them down do not do anything outside of calling 911 immediately and give out the information, do not approach. >> let me ask you, lapd you are now more targets now than in a long time? >> it's extremely unusual that this many officers have been tar getted. there have -- targeted, there have been cases where people have been targeted. >> this is unprecedented, what kind of orders are you getting from the chief? >> i think most officers will be highly cautious of who follows them, who is around them and be cognizant of your surroundings. >> how do officers not only know they are in danger but
6:55 am
that their families may be targeted as well. >> is this a conversation you should be having with your family, be cognizant of who is following you and give that information. >> we have been getting thousands of messages of concerned parents, schools opened in this area today, will there be extra details? >> i don't know if you want to talk to an officer from corona for what measures they have in place. >> how does this affect your officers because this is somebody who is a former officer who has a big grudge on lapd based on his manifesto. >> obviously he has technical training and we will be highly cautious when we approach him as well but when it is one of our own targeting us, of course
6:56 am
it affects us. >> he may be watching but what would be a message to chris doerner if he is listening? >> we are out there and looking for him, we would hope he would give himself up and he has already created and caused havoc among or lapd family and we ask that he give himself up. >> could you describe what was his demeanor like, what happened? >> unfortunately we don't have that. the engagement was so quick and officers do not have a description of what chris doerner was wearing. >> doerner was followed and you were looking for him, you followed him and your officers ended up being on the other end of his rifle. >> it was just happenstance. they were flagged down and given information by a witness
6:57 am
that this mr. doerner was observed in such vehicle and that's when they started to follow him, they ran the license plate meaning it came back cold back at that vehicle and the officers made that turn which is when they started shooting at him. >> it is completely separate from this investigation. they were providing special detail for protection to individuals that were named on that manifesto. >> can you clarify a little bit more? >> we are listening live with an lapd, highway 15 in southern california, they are talking about an intense manhunt this morning, we are talking about it, they are searching for a man who is suspected of shooting three police officers overnight, the suspect is a former police officer. he also has apparently admitted in some sort of manifesto to
